OFS provides specialty fibers for advanced optical signal processing in UCELLS. Outstanding fiber quality is required in the European project UCELLS from the 7th Framework Program. The unique features of OFS specialty fiber minimize key limitations as non-linear distortion, attenuation and operational wavelength range, enabling the photonic processing of ultra-wide band (UWB) radio signals.
OFS is a designer, manufacturer, and supplier of leading edge optical fiber, optical fiber cable, FTTx, optical connectivity and specialty photonics products and solutions for a wide variety of applications and industries. OFS, formerly the optical fiber solutions division of Lucent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: LU), has a proven track record of being first in the industry with application specific fibers, optical connectors, ribbon cables, erbium doped fibers, Raman fiber lasers and more. OFS is committed to providing customers increased value by offering products that deliver lowest cost per-bit network solutions, protecting investments through flexible solutions for today’s demanding applications. OFS distributes its optical fiber, optical fiber cable, FTTx, optical connectivity and specialty photonics products and solutions directly to end users, as well as through valued distributors, external cable customers and equipment vendors. OFS Laboratories grew from Bell Laboratories, originally established by Alexander Graham Bell. Bell Labs was first sold by AT&T to Lucent Technologies. When the fiber division was sold by Lucent in 2001, its portion of Bell Labs (the equipment and its world-renowned scientists) became OFS Laboratories: a little powerhouse that retains more than 600 patents and has received numerous awards. OFS scientists have been responsible for groundbreaking innovations including nonzero dispersion fiber, submarine optical fibre and polarization maintaining fibre.
Collaboration between OFS and UCELLS project will foster UWB photonic processing altogether UWB-over-fibre technologies.
